So after I have put a brand new shiny clutch in and bolted the subframe back up only one a-frame side will go in. I have checked over and over again and both CV joints are flush in the diff, but the driver a-arm will not go back in. Any thoughs, has anyone else ran into this??

Did you try to compress the suspension with a jack? When I put my sphereicals in I had to compress the suspension and push it in.

I tried but it still seems like it is about an inch or two off, I have tried c-clamps, just about everything. It is the rear part of the a-arm I am having problems with.

Well I solved my problem, part of the CV joint poped out of place inside the boot.

It is ALOT easier to install the LCA's when the subframe is hanging low, the struts will not be in the way.
